EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a white tablecloth adorned with intricate images of the wedding celebration of Count Poppo von Henneberg and Sophia von Braunschweig. The tablecloth, illustrated by Dr. Jakob Heinrich von Hefner-Alteneck and lithographed by C. Regnier for Hefner-Alteneck's "Costumes, Artworks and Appliances from the Middle Ages to the 17th Century," transports us back to the medieval era. The scene is filled with musicians playing various instruments, including lutes, harps, and trumpets, as they perform for the joyous occasion. Music notation is also visible, suggesting that the music was meticulously planned and executed. Courtiers, dressed in fashionable attire of the time, are depicted dancing merrily, their colorful garments swirling around them. The attention to detail in this illustration is truly remarkable, providing a glimpse into the grandeur and elegance of a noble wedding during the Middle Ages. Dr. Hefner-Alteneck, a German museum curator, archaeologist, art historian, illustrator, and etcher, expertly captured the essence of this historic event, making it a valuable addition to any collection of medieval art and history.
